Description A popular European salad green. Dark green leaves form a low growing fancy rosette that is best harvested when young and before flowers appear. Leaves can be blanched ( covered to prevent exposure to light) for three days before picking to reduce bitterness. Its vaguely nutty taste is improved by a light frost. Often called lamb’s lettuce and mache. How to Grow Direct sow seed every two weeks anytime in spring when soil temperatures range from 5-20 C (41-68 F). Sow seed 3 mm (1/8″) deep and 6 mm (1/4″) apart in rows 40 cm (16″) apart. Thin seed in the row to 10 cm (4″) apart. Best in a wind-sheltered site in full sun to light shade with deep, fertile soil. Once conditions get hot, corn salad will quickly bolt to seed. Show more
